Instructions
Instant Pot
Add all of the ingredients to the Instant Pot.
Fill the water to the max line of the pot.
Pressure cook for 2 hours, 4 hours is optimal.
When the pot indicates it has finished, allow the steam to release naturally, at least 30 minutes and then release the steam.
Place a mesh strainer over a large bowl. Open the pot and strain the bones and scraps over the bowl to catch the broth.
Store the broth.
Slow Cooker
Add all of the ingredients to the slow cooker.
Fill the water to the top of the pot.
Cook for 12-18 hours on Low.
Place a mesh strainer over a large bowl. Open the pot and strain the bones and scraps over the bowl to catch the broth.
Store the broth.
Notes
If you want the broth to gel up you will need to add 4 tablespoons of raw apple cider vinegar in along with all of the ingredients.You can also re-use the bones, carcass, and scraps to make another batch of broth. With turkey, I usually find the second batch is equal quality to the first.
